Background
In echoing the USIU-Africa values of giving back and working for the common good, the University has introduced an initiative dubbed “USIU-Africa Giving Fridays”. This initiative will take place the last Friday of every month and is a good way for all of us in the USIU-Africa community to donate clothes, shoes, books etc which are still in good condition for use by those in need.
This initiative aims at collecting donations from various individuals, groups and teams that will be handed over to a credible relief organization in Kenya (local charities and non-profit organizations), who have a better understanding of the ground logistics to distribute relief supplies to people in need and to ensure that donations are distributed fairly and effectively.
The initiative will be carried out on an ongoing basis, with the first launch taking place on the first Friday of next month. We aim to create a culture of giving within USIU-Africa and encourage our community to support charitable causes they are passionate about. We will evaluate the program's success after six months to determine any necessary adjustments.
Objectives of the campaign
- To have the USIU-Africa community practice its values of giving back and working for the common good to make a significant impact on the community around us.
- To create a culture of giving within the USIU-Africa community to charitable causes that they care about.
Target Group
- USIU-Africa Community (Students, Staff and Faculty)
- Other interested parties outside USIU-Africa e.g. Parents and various sponsors
Where to Give
- Kindly donate/drop off your items in the 'Donations Box' located outside the Cafeteria.
We are establishing this scholarship to support a student in need of financial aid who has shown leadership potential through their actions. The first recipient, Roy Tanga, has impressed us with his tenacity and motivation to promote sound fiscal policy in Kenya. Among other accomplishments, he has spoken at the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget at the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. We have known Roy for several years and have admired his determination in pursuing his goals. He recently started a podcast called “Podcast Geopolitica."
Coming from a family of very modest financial means, Roy recognized the need for a formal higher education to transform his passion into a career. This is where you can help. Your support for Roy represents an investment in the stability and prosperity of an emerging market. Roy is currently working towards his Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Technology at USIU-Africa in Nairobi.
Please join us in donating to the Merk-Pento Leadership Scholarship. Your donation to the Merk-Pento Leadership Scholarship will go to the US-registered 501(c)3 charitable organization of USIU-Africa and is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
We will match the first $1,000 in donations. You don't have to donate $1,000 or even hundreds; any amount is greatly appreciated. Click here to donate.
Thank you for your support of this transformative journey in the life of Roy and many other like him.
